Blaming the Victim: Shining the Light on the Philando Castile Verdict

Join Aqeela Sherrills, David Guizar as we discuss another case of Blaming the Victim and the Philando Castile Verdict.  In a nation traumatized by the ongoing police murders of black folk, the state continues to re-traumatize communities by refusing to hold police accountable for their actions. The state does a serious disservice to cops who do not recieve any more mental health support than the communities they over police. This makes for a vicious cycle-- trigger jumpy authorities unbeholden to the consequences of their role in perpetuating violence against black and brown families--- who are charged with patrolling the very same grief stricken communities who have inadequate access to justice and healing.  Tune In!
